MS + Yahoo - not happening, yet

The Wall Street Journal says talks are off:

Microsoft and Yahoo in recent months discussed a possible merger of the two companies or some kind of match-up that would pair their respective strengths, say people familiar with the situation. But the merger discussions are no longer active, these people say. The two companies may still explore other ways of cooperating.

Any merger makes complete sense but analysts say it would represent a major turn for Microsoft, as it'd be financed through debt.
